An incomplete dataset of moraine in Antarctica. Data have been prepared from various map and remotely sensed datasets. This dataset has been generalised from the high resolution version but there are some inconsistencies in this dataset and the high resolution version is recommended. : Data compiled from various mapping and remote sensing sources. Exact data sources are currently missing from the attribute table for the majority of data - the large majority was compiled in 1993 and digitized from the USGS 1:250k reconnaissance series maps dating from 1960s-1990s and DOS 1:250k series maps dating from 1960s and 1970s. Exact data sources can be provided on request in the format of vector lines.
